The Thin Blue Line
Among us, sent down from Heaven
Are those that walk a Thin Blue Line, that's a given
Like Guardian Angels to watch over me and you,
Are those that wear the uniform of blue.
We see them only as traffic stops,
We do not call them friends, only cops.
We pray we never have a chance meeting.
We never pass along a greeting.
But they are so much more than this,
They simply do not see the world as bliss.
But they look into the corners of our deepest fears,
They walk the beat, they wipe a tear.
They bring a message to our home,
When all is not well, and you are alone.
They come to us, no matter the need.
Handle the problem, complete the deed.
They lay their personal feelings aside.
They do their job, they have great pride.
And if one should fall, among life's thing.
The badge they wear turns into wings.

My father is a cop. Some of his best friends are cops. My cousin is a cop.
My life has been filled with "your dad is a killer."
And I think it needs to stop.
I realize that some of you may disagree with you. But my father's life matters. His platoon matters. His partner matters.
All Blue Lives Matter.
